Unit Code: EM039-712
Pre or Co-requisites: 0
This unit focuses on making disciples. It integrates a theological foundation with exploration of discipleship practices. As ever-increasing numbers of Muslims turn to Christ, an urgent challenge facing the global church is to disciple Muslim background believers well. Although this unit will focus is on equipping people for disciple-making among Muslims, it will be of value to anyone whose missional or pastoral work involves forming disciples.
Topics explored will include:
– What does it mean to be a disciple?
– The process of discipleship.
– Formation of Christian identity.
– Character and spiritual formation.
– The history of discipleship of Muslim background believers, including case studies.
– Contemporary approaches to discipleship.
– Blockages and obstacles to discipleship including persecution and spiritual warfare
– The disciple-maker.
– Why is making disciples often a missing link in church ministry?
